QT-Symmetry and Weak Pseudo-Hermiticity

Ali Mostafazadeh

For an invertible (bounded) linear operator Q acting in a Hilbert space , we consider the consequences of the QT-symmetry of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian $H:{\cal H}\to{\c…

Control of Optical Dynamic Memory Capacity of an Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensate

Devrim Tarhan, Alphan Sennaroglu, Ozgur E. Mustecaplioglu

Light storage in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate is one of the most practical usage of these coherent atom-optical systems. In order to make them even more practical, it is nece…

Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap with an eccentric dimple potential

Haydar Uncu, Devrim Tarhan, Ersan Demiralp +1

We investigate Bose-Einstein condensation of noninteracting gases in a harmonic trap with an off-center dimple potential. We specifically consider the case of a tight and deep dimp…

Coherence lifetimes of excitations in an atomic condensate due to the thin spectrum

T. Birol, T. Dereli, Ö. E. Müstecaplıoğlu +1

We study the quantum coherence properties of a finite sized atomic condensate using a toy-model and the thin spectrum model formalism. The decoherence time for a condensate in the…

Path-Integral Formulation of Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics and the Role of the Metric Operator

Ali Mostafazadeh

We provide a careful analysis of the generating functional in the path integral formulation of pseudo-Hermitian and in particular PT-symmetric quantum mechanics and show how the me…

Metric Operators for Quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Symmetries of Equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonians

Ali Mostafazadeh

We give a simple proof of the fact that every diagonalizable operator that has a real spectrum is quasi-Hermitian and show how the metric operators associated with a quasi-Hermitia…
